Vassily Nebenzia, Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the United Nations, addresses the emergency Security Council meeting on the situation in the Middle East, following reports of a chemical weapons attack in Syria.

"Either way, the United States will respond".

In an impassioned speech at the U.N., Haley declared, "Only a monster does this".

But action remained elusive in a deeply acrimonious Security Council, long divided over how to investigate these alleged attacks and hold those responsible to account.

The threat of what could be imminent USA military action prompted Russian Ambassador to the UN Vasily Nebenzya to warn on April 9 that Moscow will not allow its forces on the ground in Syria to be put at risk.

"If it's Russian Federation, if it's Syria, if it's Iran, if it's all them together, we'll figure it out and we'll know the answers quite soon", Trump said.

Trump noted that both the Russians and Syrians deny that there was such an attack.

Despite the fact that the USA has remained silent against the use of chemical weapons and other massacres committed by conventional weapons, this time they responded harshly, bringing a military operation forward. His statement comes nearly exactly a year after he fired 59 Tomahawk missiles at a Syrian airbase in response to a chemical weapons attack against civilians. When asked if the USA would respond in a similar way to this latest alleged chemical attack, White House adviser Tom Bossert told ABC television: "I wouldn't take anything off the table".

Israel then carried out what it called "large-scale" raids on Syrian air defence systems and Iranian targets, which reportedly included T-4.

The US president met with his military leaders in Washington on Monday night to discuss the response to the "horrible attack" on Douma, saying a decision would be made "tonight or very shortly thereafter". What is happening in Syria's Douma?

In an April 8 press statement, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Ghassemi said, "The Islamic Republic of Iran, based on its principled policies and religious and moral teachings, and as one of the victims of chemical weapons, condemns the use of these types of weapons by any side and anywhere in the world".

Regime forces walk along a destroyed street in the former rebel-held town of Jobar in Eastern Ghouta on April 2, 2018. White House advisers said at the time that images of hurt children helped spur the president to launch that air strike, and television new shows on Sunday aired similar depictions of suffering young Syrians.

Tensions between Russia and the West have plunged to their worst level in decades, following the poisoning in March of an ex-spy in England that the United Kingdom blamed on Moscow, and alleged Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election.

According to the reports, the chemical attack on Saturday killed at least 49 people and injured 500 others, Thomas Markram, the deputy to the UN High Representative for Disarmament Affairs, told the Council.

Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, speaking to reporters earlier in the day at the Pentagon, placed some of the blame on Russian Federation, which he suggested had not done enough to uphold a 2013 agreement between the USA and Russian Federation that called for the elimination of Syria's chemical weapons program.
